    They would all be scanned the same.

    But here's a tip: if you separate keywords in a url by using a hyphen or underscore (as you did with "my_article"), it's more likely both will be picked up by the bots than if you had named it "myarticle."

    You'll see a lot of online newspapers, e-zines, etc., using this approach for certain articles, ending a url with something like:

    com/technology/Google-reveals-search-engine-secrets.html

    Once indexed, that particular URL should rank higher than it would have-- without separating the words--in search results. Should, because there are so many factors to account for in search algorithms. There are very few givens.

            i believe hyphens are better, for the people and for the bots too
            go for the #2 option , i think html is indexed faster than php

            i will start working as a seo consultant in september for one company, i dont know that much but i hope i will extend my knowledge very soon contact me on icq , we can come up with something later

            cheers
